is depression coming in pregnancy?.. ive been down for a few weeks... faking to put on a smile... i…

It helps sometimes

Very common. Ask ur doctor about some medications that you could use. I've been on some since the beginning and it's made things better most days.

I would talk to your doctor

Thank you... I just dont feel like this is common stress... Like recently i cant even get excited over baby... it breaks my heart but i literally just dont feel... im sad... thats about it really... i dont like what i see in the mirror and feel like a constant burden on my husband... the house stays clean but i guess theres more too it... and i feel he doesnt find me attractive in the least... like.i have to ask for affection.. hugs.. kisses.. them they are just fractions of a second,.. i really dont feel worthy of love... thank you for your help @kearclark

No problem @jessicagarmal it's def a stressful and emotional experience. I'm now almost 32 weeks and I feel sad about the way I look all the time, esp when people ask when I'm due and I said almost 8 more weeks and they give me a look of like "omg u have twins in there?!". I know that there is a beautiful baby in there but it's also common to feel very hormonal and feel lousy about how u look/feel. It'll get better :) talk to ur doc about what they recommend for a prescription. :)

thank you... you're Gorgeous by the way... @kearclark

I've been going through the same thing! My OBGYN put me on an antidepressant about a month ago. I guess I see some change, but I'm following up again on Wednesday.

Aw thanks @jessicagarmal

I was depressed in the first trimester and didn't feel like myself at all. I didn't cook or clean and I'm usually obsessed about doing chores. My depression caused a lot of problems with my husband. He felt like I was a different person and there was nothing he could do to "fix" me. I spoke with my doctor about it and he recommended speaking with a psychologist. I'm 19 wks 3 days now and feel so much better. I did not end up seeing the psychologist because it took so long to get an apt with someone who accepts my insurance. I just started to feel better and better. And now I feel like myself again.

it's painful... not being excited about my own baby... i want it healthy... even when i saw the first ultrasound... i just didn't have that overwhelming spark... we tried for 8 months to get pregnant... i thought out would be the happiest feeling on earth

@preggersrn,

i hope i get that way... just eventually becoming my self again... @mrsg305
